Movers | Logan Lift Express
These guys were extremely customer-service focused and professional. They were on time, flexible and accommodating of my (less-than-ideal) circumstances, and were generally able to "make it happen" with a good attitude. They seemed to be experiences with the logistical aspects of getting everything on/off, in/out, up/down. I honestly wish I'd had more cash on hand that day to tip them.

I cannot say enough good things about Movemasters! Shamaiah, the manager and contact, was just great. So professional. She chose two GREAT movers for us: Marlowe and Jovon.
